Billie Eilish strips naked at her concert to protest against body shaming
Billie Eilish presents the short 'Not my responsability' with a video in which she is shedding her XXL clothes of hers as a feminist allegation and support for the 'body positive', whatever our size.
We can call it a feminist plea. Or allude to that concept of a new creation such as the 'body positive'. Be that as it may, what Billie Eilish does, and not only with this video that she just posted on her Instagram, is to show the pride that a woman should have for her body, regardless of size. A message for the awareness of the feminine freedom to feel comfortable with the physical, beyond the margins of the obsolete established canons.
For the unconditional followers of the singer, the video that she has shared today on her social networks is nothing new. Yes, the news today is that he has decided that this message reaches a larger sector of the population than the one that concentrates on his concerts, but this short, three minutes and forty-one seconds, has been projecting time during his 'show' from the 'Where do we go' tour.
"A short originally produced by and to be seen on tour. Made by Billie Eilish", can be read alongside this recording that she decided was necessary given the amount of insults and destructive criticism she has had to face. over the years for his body. And it is to those 'haters' that she addresses in that text that is heard in the background, read by herself, while she takes off her clothes.
If I take off these layers, I'm a whore "
"You know me. Do you really know me? You have opinions about my opinions, about my music, about my clothes, about my body. Some people hate what I'm wearing; others praise it. Some use it to embarrass others; other people he uses it to embarrass me. I feel you watching, always, "begins the artist, who wants her words to sink in as an awareness that everyone should be whoever they want.
"Nothing I do goes unnoticed, so while I feel your stares, your disapproval ... or your sighs of relief. If I lived for it, I wouldn't even have the ability to move. Would you like me to be smaller? Weaker? ? More delicate? Taller? Would you like me to be shy? "Eilish continues.
Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest do it? "
And she still has a few more questions in the pipeline. And she throws them: "Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest do it? Am I defined by my stomach, my hips, the body I was born with? It is not what you wanted ... If I wear comfortable clothes, I am not a woman. If I take off these capes, I'm a whore. Even though you've never seen my body, you touch it and judge me by it. Why? "
"We decide who the others are. We decide how much they are worth. If I wear more, if I wear less, who decides what I do to myself? What does that mean? Is my value only based on your perception? Or Your opinion about me is not my responsibility? ", are the final shot of that video that has gone viral almost at the same moment of its publication.
